Paarth Raj, DO

College: Baylor University

Medical School: UNTHSC- Texas College of Ostepathic Medicine

EM Interests: International Medicine, Disaster Medicine

Bio: I grew up in the tiny in-the-middle-of-nowhere town of Ozona, TX but got to experience every corner of the world when we broke away for far-flinging family trips around the world. Finished up college and medical school in Texas and the match brought me to Hackensack and it's been absolutely wonderful to be here so far. I still love to travel and try new things. I've been rock climbing in Thailand, ice climbing in Switzerland, scuba diving in Mexico, sky diving in the USofA, and when I'm in NYC, I don't mind picking up an extra pair of drumsticks and droppin' a beat with random street performers in the subway. Work Hard, play hard is the motto, and that's why EM is the best fit.

Future plans: To be a good doctor, wife, and Mom. To improve health policies in the United States and to have an active life outside of medicine.

Interesting Facts: I was a Zoology major in Hawaii where I was able to do research with sharks and dolphins! I also collect animals and currently have two cats and a German Shepherd.
